Mid Valley celebrated one of the main reasons for its recent run of success with the boys basketball team last week.

The school retired the No. 30 jersey of Ronny Tomasetti at a ceremony during a home win over Carbondale Area.

Tomasetti became the first boys basketball player in the history of the program to score more than 1,000 points. He also guided the Spartans to the PIAA Class AA playoffs and averaged 13.3 points last season, while earning Class AA third-team all-state honors from the Pennsylvania Sports Writers.

Miller milestones

Honesdale senior Kevin Miller joined the exclusive 1,000-point club when he scored 16 points in a win over rival Wallenpaupack on Friday.

It is the latest highlight for the two-sport standout, who has been a varsity starter in basketball and football since his sophomore season.

A Lackawanna League Division II all-star in basketball last season, he is coming off an all-star season in football where he also earned All-Region honors as a defensive back.

Miller finished his football career with 3,331 yards passing with 31 touchdowns and had 1,609 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns. He also had 118 tackles and eight interceptions in the last two seasons.

Battling back

Riverside standout Connor Mailen suffered a setback in what had been a breakout season when he injured his knee in the traditional rivalry game last week against Old Forge.

He has missed the last three games for the Vikings. Before going on the injured reserve list, Mailen averaged 20.2 points per game as Riverside started the season with eight straight wins.

His status remains questionable, but he is making progress.

Getting back

Delaware Valley has made a push as the Lackawanna Division II season has started.

The Warriors began the year with three losses by an average of 11.7 points per game.

Delaware Valley reeled off six straight wins after that as Shane Fowler, who is averaging 16.2 points per game and Joe Raniero, who is averaging 3.1 3-pointers a game, gave the team a lift.

Delaware Valley will look to make an impact on the standings Friday when it hosts preseason favorite Honesdale.
